Exploring your options when it comes to a waste heat recovery system for your plant or facility? Read on to find answers to some popular questions about waste heat recovery units.
Answers to Frequently Asked Questions About Waste Heat Economizers
What Are Waste Heat Economizers?
Waste heat economizers, also referred to as waste heat recovery units, are components of industrial heating systems that capture energy created within equipment like turbines and incinerators and repurpose that energy for other uses, including heating up other materials.
They gather the heat and energy that would otherwise be wasted and make it possible for a facility or plant to utilize that energy for other purposes. Waste heat economizers are a great option if you’re looking to increase the efficiency of your facility.
What Are The Benefits of Waste Heat Economizers?
Waste heat recovery units are popular in a number of industries, and for good reason. They provide a number of significant benefits, including:
- Improved efficiency
- Reduced energy consumption
- Reduced operating costs
- Decreased waste and emissions

How Does Waste Heat Recovery Work?
Within a waste heat recovery unit, hot gas created by the processes completed within industrial heating equipment like incinerators, oxidizers, gasifiers and turbines is captured. The heat energy created by the industrial processes is then recycled and repurposed to aid in other industrial processes, rather than being expelled by the system.
